THE NEXT BUG DAY WILL BE SATURDAY JULY 19, 2025

0000Z TO 2359Z

(Future dates will fall on Jan. 1 and the third Saturday of each July)

There has been continued interest in an activity twice per year (to run alongside the Mechanical Key Days) where the idea is to get on the air using those bug keys. It is open to FOC members and non-members.

The exchange is expected to include, at the very least, a description of the bug being used.

Calling CQ Bug Day is suggested. Frequencies are 25 khz above most band edges and up as needed.

Please send a list of stations worked using bugs and your vote for best bug fist to Benny K5KV.

Participants can contact Benny K5KV at email listed on QRZ.com with questions.
